South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has unveiled his newly configured cabinet a month after a tense general election, bringing together nine of the eleven parties in a broad Government of National Unity (GNU).
In a highly anticipated announcement late Sunday, Ramaphosa quelled extensive speculation about his ability to consolidate diverse political factions. Leaked correspondence previously indicated stubborn resistance from both Ramaphosa and Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuysen in negotiations.
Notably, Ramaphosa achieved an internal equilibrium, despite concerns within his own African National Congress (ANC) that an alliance with the DA would be viewed as 'selling out the ANC.' The president expanded the executive, restructuring several portfolios and adding deputy ministers to ensure diverse representation.
